Letters Patent No. 98,664, dated January 11, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN CANE AND (LOIVIBINEID.`

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Io all 'whom tt may concern.-

' and' whip combined.

Figure 2 is a central sectional view through the cane, showing the whip closed therein.

Figure 3 is -a central vertical section of the head of the whip.

Figui-e4 is a perspective View of the lower end of the cane, the tip-thimble havingbeen removed.

The barrel A may be .manufactured of nearly all the known material used for canes, and of the desired length and size of common walking-sticks, with a tube, B, the entire length, of about. one-half inch b'ore at the but, and one-fourth of an inch at the small end.

A metal plug, C, one and one-fourth of an inch long, with a screw-thread, is rml y fixed into the small end of the tube B, extending therefrom three-fourths of an inch, and which extension receives the tip-thimble D. i

A metal thimble, E, two inches long, is let into the v but, so that the inside of the tube B and the inside of thimble E will form a. plane, even surface, the thim'- ble extending from the but about three-eighths of an inch, with a screw-thread, or other means of fastening, on the head F.

lhe bow G is made in the usual manner and material of ordinary whips, with a metal ferrule, H, two inches long, fastened thereon.

To adjust the implement for a cane, place the bow G, tip foremost, into the tube B, screw ou the head F and tip-thimble.D. Y

When used as awhip, remove head F and tip-thimble D, draw out bow G, and screw it on to plug C, pla-oe tip-thimble D into tube B for safe keeping, and put on headF. p

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A convertible cane andjwhip, so arranged that when closed as a cane, it shall consist of the barrel A,

head F, and ferrule D, the said barrel enclosing its bow Gr, and, when arranged as a whip, said whip to be formed by removing the bow from barrel A, and fastening the same upon its screw-thread C, as shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
